The new year begins largely as the old one ended, an unusual occasion where my Spotify Top 40 changed only in order instead of content, still three songs that should be there missing from the service. Still, quite a lot to enjoy here and I bet your time spent listening was a little down last week with all the holiday stuff and the college football.

Missing songs this week:Pale Rider – Project 86, Rock Or Bust – AC/DC, Shake It Like You Mean It – The Lazys

New to the Spotify list this week:None

Dropping off the Spotify list this weekNone

For the larger (nearly 200 songs) YouTube version there’s over a half dozen new songs added this week including the latest single from Bridge To Grace, one last single from the Tremonti solo album, another cut from Black Veil Brides and more. You can find it at this link

Also, if you’re wondering exactly how all of this gets put together – the hows & whys of it – this recent blog entry probably explains more than you ever wanted to know.
